I think PhysioProf may have been ranting and raving at some point about insufferable asshole Joe Scarborough and his “Morning Joe” morning swill. PhysioProf has noted that Scarborough’s sidekick Mika Brzezinski sometimes visibly appears to wish she were somewhere else, not dealing with loonie noxious nutjob Scarborough. Well Mika just got a schweet dig in at Scarborough on the air this morning, which warms the cockles of my fucking heart. [Read more…]

Shorter Bertha Madras: “The government should just let junkies die, because almost dying might scare the fuck out of the ones that somehow manage to survive.”

This is just one more example of how bankrupt “conservative” right-wing ideology–a diarrhoeic blend of religious autoritarianism, ecconomic fuck-you libertarianism, and avowed rejection of objective reality–leads to morally abhorrent and pragmatically hairbrained policy. [Read more…]

This is a quote from the About page of a relatively new political blog called YOUTHinkLeft that is run by progressive teenagers:

YOUTHinkLeft.com (YOUTH THINK LEFT) deals with political issues through original content delivered in an online newsmagazine style blog. The YOUTHinkLeft articles are written by preteens, teenagers, or young adults. Our ages range from 13-years-old to a college graduate. The majority of YOUTHinkLeft writers are high school students. Geographically, we extend from North Carolina to New Mexico and from Texas to Wisconsin.

We are progressives, liberals, democrats and greens. We are today’s youth, and tomorrow’s leaders.

These kids deserve some goddamn encouragement, so please check them out. They published a great well-researched post last week about the absurd criminalization of ordinary childhood antics and the use of police power–arrest and imprisonment–against unruly children (both characteristics of right-wing authoritarian political regimes). It’ll make your skin crawl.

When PhysioProf is a shrunken old coot, lying on his deathbed croaking out his very last rant at the gibboon-like antics of some smegmatic cockknuckle wingnut loony toon, these kids are gonna be running the fucking place!

In relation to the question concerning the “economic stimulus package”, “Why not food stamps?“, Megan “Friend to the Poor” McArdle muses:

The poor don’t need more food. Obesity is a problem for the poor in America; except for people who are too screwed up to get food stamps (because they don’t have an address), food insufficiency is not.

Hey, Megan, you glibertarian asscheesemonger! Obesity is a particular problem for the poor in this country because of monstrous government subsidies to the high-fructose corn syrup industry. This ensures that the cheapest food available to the poor is this fucking poison, guaranteed to fatten them up. Increasing poor people’s food budgets through food stamps will allow them to afford decent, healthy food, instead of cheap feed used by ranchers to fatten their cattle.

Democrats need to sack the fuck up. Frankly espouse a progressive agenda and go toe-to-toe with the Republican fucknozzle opposition–instead of capitulating day-after-fucking-day and whining like a gaggle of helpless quavering goslings–and win more elections.

Oh, fuck, Bobo has a doozy in today’s New York Times (you know: that left-wing propaganda organ for the extremist liberal Democrats). Could this asshole be any more transparent about his water-carrying for the “I’ve got mine; go fuck yourself”-wing of the Republican Party? Anyway, I have created this handy translation guide to some of Bobo’s bon mots in today’s column about the economy: [Read more…]

Some raging dipshit forwarded PhysioProf a Youtube of a Canadian dude moaning and groaning about how he almost died because of evil socializedCanadian medicine. Kool-Aid besotten poor deluded bastards like this fuckwit forwarder will believe anything peddled by the right-wing propaganda wurlitzer, so long as it allows them to maintain the fiction that they haven’t been completely hoodwinked for the last 30+ years into voting and advocating completely against the economic and social interests of themselves, their families, and their friends.[Read more…]

Since the inception of this blog, PhysioProf has heaped a fuckload of scorn on filthy rotten slimy Republican wharf rats, scuttling around in the dank gutters of our polity, plotting and scheming with their racist, sexist, neo-feudal cronies for the next opportunity to slap the shit out of the serfs. Well, lest you, fair reader, get the impression that PhysioProf is not a bipartisan foul-mouthed ranting lunatic, I am here to tell you that there are members of the Democratic Party, very powerful members of the Democratic Party, who also deserve unstinting and scathing scorn from every right-thinking decent human being in this nation.
